Chapter 1426 G.o.d of War
1426 G.o.d of War
"Amazing work, Tian Xian. You have exceeded our expectations." Emperor Xiu praised him when he returned from the battlefield.
"Tian Xian!" Xiu Mei flung herself into his embrace the moment she saw him.
"Ahem! Control yourself, Xiu Mei. You are not alone, and your relations.h.i.+p with him is still a secret." Emperor Xiu awkwardly cleared his throat.
"Who cares? Everybody in this room is aware of our relations.h.i.+p, anyway." Xiu Mei said, refusing to let Tian Xian go.
"But pretty much everyone outside of this circle is already aware of their "secret" relations.h.i.+p…" The Royal Advisor and the others thought to themselves as they looked at Xiu Mei and Tian Xian.
Xiu Mei"s demeanor around Tian Xian spoke volumes, leaving little doubt about the intimacy of their relations.h.i.+p to anyone observing, even a blind man. The only thing lacking was official confirmation.
Sometime later, Tian Xian asked, "So when is the next battle?"
Xiu Mei looked at him with wide eyes and said, "You want to partic.i.p.ate in another battle? Isn"t one enough? The entire city is already aware of your prowess, so why would you want to partic.i.p.ate in another battle?"
Tian Xian then said, "I won"t stop until the Seven Heavenly Order is gone."
"I like your dedication!" The Generals laughed out loud.

"I like your dedication!" The Generals laughed out loud.
Emperor Xiu nodded, "I will notify you when the next battle is decided."
Due to the Seven Heavenly Orders disregarding their agreement, things would only get more complicated. After all, the Xiu Family could no longer trust them.
In the end, they scheduled the second battle to take place the following month with 2,000 soldiers on each side. However, wary of the Seven Heavenly Orders" potential treachery, the Xiu Family stationed their reinforcements a few miles away from the battlefield. Should the Seven Heavenly Orders breach the agreement once more, the Xiu Family was prepared to swiftly deploy their reinforcements without hesitation.
The Seven Heavenly Orders showed up with exactly 2,000 soldiers this time, but they also had reinforcements stationed not far away from the battlefield.
"Look at that young man in front of the formation! That must be Tian Xian, the Unstoppable Tyrant!"
The soldiers of the Seven Heavenly Order swiftly recognized Tian Xian"s presence within their formation, dubbing him "Unstoppable Tyrant" due to his formidable performance in the previous battle.
Just like the previous battle, only a single Spirit Sovereign was allowed to partake in the battle. However, once the battle began, the Seven Heavenly Orders revealed that they had hidden nine additional Spirit Sovereigns within their formation.
"Kill the Unstoppable Tyrant!"
Despite the potential damage to their reputation, the Seven Heavenly Order couldn"t afford to let Tian Xian dominate the battlefield once more. Therefore, they resolved to swiftly eliminate him during the second battle.
"Hmph! I knew I could count on you cowardly b.a.s.t.a.r.ds to use such dirty tactics!" Tian Xian sneered in disdain when he realized that he was surrounded by 10 Spirit Sovereigns.
Yet, in less than five minutes, Tian Xian slew all of them while suffering only minor injuries.
After killing the Spirit Sovereigns, Tian Xian"s prowess on the battlefield was unmatched, and the battle concluded before the Xiu Family could even summon their reinforcements. Once again, Tian Xian carved through the enemy forces like an unstoppable force of nature.
With each swing of his spear, more than twenty enemy soldiers would fall, their morale shattered by Tian Xian"s relentless onslaught.
"These dirty f.u.c.king b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! If it weren"t for Tian Xian"s overwhelming talent, I would have lost my son-in-law today!"
Emperor Xiu and the others expressed their anger after learning of the situation.
"d.a.m.n it! Your Majesty, let"s forget about these skirmishes and launch a full-scale attack on these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!"
"Yeah! If these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds want to play dirty, let"s show them how dirty we can get!"
However, the Xiu Family quickly realized that their concerns would be alleviated without them having to take any action.
"We never intended on meddling with your war, but we cannot ignore such disgraceful behavior being displayed before our eyes in our own continent. If the Seven Heavenly Order continues their nonsense, we will join the Xiu Family to get rid of you pests."
When the neutral Sects and other factions of the Fourth Heaven that have been watching from the sidelines learned of the Seven Heavenly Orders" dishonorable actions, they united together and threatened to a.s.sist the Xiu Family, leaving the Seven Heavenly Orders with no choice but to reconsider their actions.
After being warned by their neutral neighbors, the Seven Heavenly Orders refrained from employing underhanded tactics and committed to engaging in future battles with honesty and integrity.
However, if the Seven Heavenly Order couldn"t defeat Tian Xian with underhanded tactics, they had no hope of defeating him in a fair fight.
A dozen battles later, the Seven Heavenly Order suffered 12 crus.h.i.+ng defeats at the hands of Tian Xian.
Despite hiring renowned Spirit Sovereign and Spirit Enlightenment mercenaries from across the Divine Heaven, the Seven Heavenly Orders found no success in defeating Tian Xian. Meanwhile, with each victory, Tian Xian"s reputation soared, his name echoing throughout the Fourth Heaven like some kind of deity.
The war between the Seven Heavenly Orders and the Xiu Family lasted over a decade, spanning more than a hundred battles. Tian Xian partic.i.p.ated in every single battle, grew stronger after each battle, and emerged victorious in all of them. Moreover, cultivators from around the world would spectate these battles and offer Tian Xian an exalted position within their faction, but he respectfully declined all of them.
In the end, Tian Xian stormed the Seven Heavenly Orders" headquarters and personally executed the young masters who bullied him in the past.
After the war concluded, Tian Xian was crowned the nickname G.o.d of War by those around him. His engagement with Xiu Mei was also officially announced by the Xiu Family, and they performed the marriage ceremony in the same year, becoming husband and wife, which surprised n.o.body.
